Wild bird encyclopedia: Japan (Tokyo)
This time I would like to introduce Oriental Turtle-Dove!
The Oriental Turtle-Dove is commonly seen throughout Japan as a resident bird.
The Japanese name comes from the fact that its body color resembles that of a female pheasant.
It is characterized by a scaly pattern on its wings and a blue-white horizontal stripe pattern on the side of its neck.
Her well-heard plopping sound is that of the Oriental Turtle-Dove.
